To whom it ma/y omwern: Be it known that I, MARK FLANIGAN, of Detroit,

'in the county of Wayne, and State of Michigan, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Spring-Bed Bottoms; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof', reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part 4of this speeication.

Figure 1 is a perspective view ,ofmy invention. Figure 2 is a side view of my improvement. Figure v3 is a top view of the same. Like letters indicate'like parts. The object of this invention is to so construct a bed.- bottom that will not only be economical to build, but

that will be elastic, and noiseless in operation.

It consists of longitudinal slats, A, provided, ateach end, with slots B, through which pass rivets, or bolts C, upon which are sleeved, within the slots, .the elastic bands.D,'made of rubber, or other suitable material,

which completely cover those portions of l the rivets, or

bolts O, which are exposed within the slots.

E is a rod, upon whichv are slipped the helical,`or

spiral springs-F, which may be single or double, and which are provided with hooks G, which engage with and hook upon the elastic bands sleeved on the bolts which pass through the slots at the end of the slats.

The rods E are attached to the end-barsof a proper frame H, the whole forming an economical, elastic, and

noiseless bed-bottom.

What I claim as my invention, and desire secure hy Letters Patent, is-

The rivet, orvbolt O, passing ,throug'h slot B, and covered byan elastic sleeve,-D, in combination with .the springs F, with hooks G, and round bars E, when alranged, constructed, and operating'as herein shown and described.
